Clutch. Or how I learned to love the wrenching

Still being new here, I'm struggling with the search tab.
Thoughts on clutches?
I would like to upgrade.
It's between ACT and Centerforce. Unless there's a better option.
Any opinions?
Both are similar and they both have the oem setup. However, when all is said and done, I plan to replace the fork, sleeve, and pilot bushing.
Or, I can just upgrade Centerforce with their hydraulic throw out bearing.
Thoughts? It'll be my first clutch in a Jeep. Ive only done a Honda CRX about 20 years ago.

Get the Centerforce Dual Friction clutch pack and if you plan to go off-road, the heavy flywheel. The heavy flywheel reduces stalling out in low speed lpw rpm situations.

Get the Centerforce hydraulic throw out bearing. The OEM throwout bearing setup is noisy. Centerforce put a lot of money into making the OEM type throwout bearing quiet. They did a good job but basically ended up with lipstick on a pig. The CF hydraulic throwout bearing is smoother and makes no noise. I've had both the Centerforce mechanical and hydraulic throwout bearing in my Rubicon and the hydraulic unit is worth the extra cost.

Good advise. I have run both ACT & Centerforce twin disc in my racecars back in the day. If you are making real power or putting a lot of stress on your vehicle then the Centerforce is going to win all day long.
